world crop production In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands LEARNING ONLINE 2020 Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to protect the plant It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include bacteria and plant pests Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting This passage deals mainly with A desertification B decreasing water supply C factors limiting crop production D developing efficient plants The word “arable” in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to A fertile B parched C barren D marsh Which of the following is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants

A It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake B It helps the plant to attack aggressors C It releases gases against plant pests D It guards against bacteria The word “It” in the 2nd paragraph refers to A another chemical mechanism B the epicuticular wax layer C an impervious plant like cover D the loss of internal moisture The word “aggression” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A attack B agitation C conditions D surroundings What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants? A Bacteria B Insects C Gas D Pests It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes _ A have not been developed yet B have not succeeded C have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents D have the quality of causing bacteria 10 All of the following are examples of an adverse situation for crops EXCEPT A inadequate water B insufficient fertilize C pest aggression D proper storage Your answers: 10 SECTION E WRITING (45 points) Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it (10 points) Keith certainly can’t be held responsible for the accident - In no way _ Melissa’s father was very busy, but he still played with her - No matter “I hear you won the championship Congratulations!” Jane said to John LEARNING ONLINE 2020 - Jane congratulated You must park your car in the right place; otherwise the police will give you a ticket - Unless _ They have said that the police caught the man stealing my car - The man _ Part II Rewrite each of the following sentences so that it means the same as the given one Use the given word in brackets Do not change the bold word (10points) He doesn’t get on well with his colleagues terms _ He could not explain why he was always late to work account _ She doesn’t see or hear from her childhood friends any more lost - _ My boss says I can use his car whenever I want to as long as I am careful disposal - _ That man reminds me a lot of my father bears - _ Part III Writing (25 points) What are skills for teenagers to reduce stress and pressure ?
